    I’m 28 and I just quit vaping after 10 years cold turkey. About to be 2 months free next week. The first 3 days were the hardest with the cravings but after that it really is mind over matter. I don’t even really think about it anymore unless I’m in a social setting but even then now I am able to just appreciate breathing better.

    I became a regular smoker when in my head I equated smoking to breaks. So whenever I had a break, it was smoke time. Especially working customer service, restaurant jobs. Also I attached it to drinking and eating, it was like an in-between for fun activities. Glad I stopped though. Nasty, nasty habit. Quit cold turkey too because it got to the point I just had enough. I think I reached the point where even at my most stressful, a cigarette just didn't taste good or relief anything.

    When I was in uni, I did my dissertation on comparing the stress levels of smokers & vapers. Whilst people usually smoke when they're stressed, nicotine actually INCREASES your stress levels. You'll just feel calm in the moment, but it's actually increasing the cortisol levels

    I’m 39 this year and I’ve been smoking, chewing, and vaping since I was 13. I’ve cut back but not enough. I currently live with my parents and tobacco is always readily available. At this point in my life I need to take Joe’s advice and change my environment. I believe that if I’m the only one in control in my environment as far as making or rather not making tobacco available. Then quitting smoking wouldn’t be that difficult, but only time will tell.

    all my uncles and some aunts around me smoked (my parents didnt) and so I was curious as a child and made my own “cigarettes” out of paper, lit it up and tried to smoke it. The experience was soo bad that I never attempted to smoke anything ever again lol

    When I was around 4 y/o, I was playing hide and seek w/ my friend at my house. My grandma used to smoke, I found a cigarette on the ashtray which was still lit, I picked it up, pretended to smoke it, actually inhaled it, immediately threw it on the floor, ran away coughing. It tasted disgusting! When I was in uni, I drunkenly made out w/ a smoker and it immediately bought back that memory. I couldn't continue & walked away. I can't smoke, but weirdly enough I love the smell of second hand smoke 😂
